I attempted to make my way to the finals of the Gold sprint races at the Galleries in the city recently. First round I was super nervous and really didn’t feel comfortable at all when up on the bike. I took off well and was apparently in front until I pretty much slipped off the seat and almost came to a full holt. I was up against a fast fixie dude and he did smoke me. Sadly he didn’t make it through to the finals.

My second attempt I went up against Chris and he too smashed me. There were a few BMU guys there on the night and all of them rode really well. Chris did end up winning the entire round and made his way to the final. Unfortunately for him his first up opponent in the final went on to win the entire even and the bike. He did ride really well Chris and his times would have put him through on a couple of heats for sure. Both the winning guy and another older guy were pretty serious about it all. So serious they had bought their own rollers to warm up on. I took video of pretty much every heat but just haven’t had time to upload the yet.
Funnily enough at Raw Track this week [I will discuss that later] both these riders were competing… and the bike “lycra boy” won is for sale. lol
